Wait?

You're saying that the date wheel and crystal in arf aren't perfect?

perfect is a subjective term - at the moment I don't mind the bold font and the missing black hole effect, but who knows ...maybe if I need a service in the future, I think about these mods!

Just got my QC, does the cyclops look aligned? It looks slightly skewed to me, but I'm not sure if thats just me. Also, the lugs look like they could possibly be a bit "sharper"? Or do they look acceptable. I asked for a few more qc picks of the DW at some other numbers, so I'll wait for those before I proceed, but in the mean time I thought I'd check to see if I'm missing anything else.

Arf messes it up again, the last lots with the v2 dial and the first v3s were so perfect that they looked like GEN, that's unacceptable. Those lugs look like four fat, ugly pieces of iron.

Do you use different molds? Different providers? All this makes me angry!!!!

Different bezels, different cases. What happens to ARF???????

I have a v1 silver and I wanted to order blue v3 but with these problems I will not order anything.

Gen y perfect ARF

Are those Chinese characters engraved on the rehaut of the blue one?

Sarcasm is not appreciated here. You might be schooled by fellow members for your crude remarks.

Did we on one of these 311 pages ever discuss how a datewheel transplant with a gen 3235 datewheel works? I am considering to get one, but it's not really meant to be compatible regarding the teeth.

Did any of you do it himself?

Yes its been discussed many times it will only work as overlay, not a replacement.

Has anyone tried the ARF 36 version? Does it seem as accurate as the 41? Would probably look a little better on my wrist.

The ARF DJ36 is amazing. Frankly, there are no obvious visual flaws with the watch other than you can getter better reliability by dropping in a VR3135. The dials (blue, silver and black), case, bracelet are very high quality.

For OCD folks (aren’t we all), the seconds had shape is different, no cylinderical shaped like the gen. This is fake not noticed on wrist, not many even know the true shape of hands. The lume plot is also slightly off but acceptable.

What is the price of a gen crystal installed?

just to clarify one of the posts above, the $350-360 is for the crystal alone. It will probably cost you about $50 to get it installed. And prof is definitely an option at about $250 installed. And I wouldn’t call it superior quality. It’s great but it is inferior to gen (everything is) but still a great option.

 

[boennsch]

my 2 cents:
When I pay so much money, i only take the gen.

Any opinions about the rep-quality of this ARF?

The visual flaw would be lack of roulette DW on the blue and black.

The blue and black DJ36 is available in black DW allow which is what ARF has replicated.

Hey guys,

today I got mine and... I am fighting to keep it. The watch is a great watch indeed, but the rhodium dial is a disappointment. I have owned a DJ2 dark rhodium and the ARF dial doesn't match the color. It's not that cool dark and clear grey. It's has a more warm and brownish hue to it. Like... rhodium, but not like the Rolex dial.

Am I totally wrong, because Rolex changed the colors?

This is what I got:

Rhodium DJ41 ARF is 95% as good as gen... maybe 20 pages back there is a comparison from interkativ with gen vs arf...

Very very little difference.

Its one I wouldn't bother replacing with a gen dial... whereas silver and white and blue, gens are superior by a vast margin.
